It uses Akzidenz Grotesk and Helevtica Neue Condensed, both which are (very expensive) commercial fonts. Therefore, it would be illegal to give them out to someone. I've been trying to find them myself but have had no luck. :no:

If you had a Mac, Helvetica comes standard (since the early 90's). :yes:
